Scurry, Texas- A Kaufman County boy has a new pocket mini-bike thanks to the generosity of the Lewisville Fire Chief Rick Lasky and his wife.

10 year old Clayton Wilson was presented the bike by the Chief and was left speechless other than a smiling "Thank you."  The DFW area responded overwhelmingly after hearing that a thief had stolen  Clayton Wilson's pocket mini-bike. Clayton is currently in remission from cancer and was heartbroken over the theft. Dozens of people called and emailed the Fox 4 news station with offers to buy Clayton a new bike.

The family has said that a troubled youth came forward and admitted to stealing the bike after Clayton had received his new bike. The Wilson family has declined to press charges. They thanked the community for their generous response and concern for their son.
